Ecological education is an education aimed at improving individual ecological environment awareness, cultivating ecological environment protection ability and promoting ecological civilization construction. Its core concept mainly includes the following aspects:

First, man and nature live in harmony. Ecological education emphasizes the close relationship and interdependence between man and nature, and advocates respecting nature, protecting ecology and cherishing resources. It is mentioned in "Zhuangzi Xiaoyao Tour": "The virtue of heaven and earth gives birth to everything." This means that everything in heaven and earth is interrelated, and human beings should follow the laws of nature and live in harmony with nature. Ecological education aims at cultivating individuals with "ecological personality" and consciously maintaining the ecological environment in life and study.

Second, ecological environment protection. Ecological education emphasizes the importance of ecological environmental protection and advocates a green, low-carbon and economical lifestyle. Ecological environmental protection is not only related to the survival and development of human beings, but also the key to maintaining the balance of the earth's ecosystem. Ecological education should guide individuals to establish environmental awareness, start from themselves and make contributions to the realization of sustainable development.

Third, the concept of ecological civilization. Ecological education advocates establishing a correct view of ecological civilization and emphasizes the close relationship between morality, ethics and ecological environment. The Analects of Confucius Yong Ye mentioned: "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." The application of this concept in the field of ecological environment is to care for nature, treat everything well, and abandon short-sightedness and utilitarianism. Ecological education aims at cultivating individuals with the concept of ecological civilization.

Fourth, social responsibility. Ecological education emphasizes the individual's ecological responsibility in social development and advocates active participation in ecological environmental protection and social welfare undertakings. Everyone has the responsibility to pay attention to the ecological environment and contribute to the harmony between man and nature and the promotion of sustainable development. Ecological education should cultivate individuals with social responsibility, let them play an active role in their respective fields, and promote the whole society to pay attention to and protect the ecological environment.
